COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL

1    MCU19/0001 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR
     COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TYPE 1- OFFICE, MULTIPLE HOUSING TYPE 4
     CONVENTIONAL AND RETAIL BUSINESS TYPE 2 - SHOP & SALON AT 6-10 DIAMOND
     STREET, COOROY

     In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the following
     declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter:
     I, Cr Stewart inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter as Peter Zipf,
     a director of Creekgold Pty Ltd who donated to my election campaign in March 2020, has an interest in
     this application. Mr Zipf attended the pre-lodgement meeting on behalf of the applicant. As a result of
     my conflict of interest, I will now leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.
     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting dated 8 December 2020 regarding Application No. MCU19/0001 for a
     Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Commercial Business - Type 1 Office,
     Multiple Housing - Type 4 Conventional (4 small dwellings), Retail Business - Type 2 Shop &
     Salon situated at 6-10 Diamond Street, Cooroy and defer consideration of the application to
     the Ordinary Meeting dated 17 December 2020:
     A.    Approve the application in accordance with the following conditions:
     B.    Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to approve
           the application:
           1.     The previous infrastructure use has been abandoned and given the site is
                  surrounded by business centre type uses, the mixed use development is a logical
                  reuse of the land.
           2.     The proposed commercial, retail and residential uses are consistent with the
                  surrounding zoning and land use pattern.
           3.     The proposed development is consistent with the Noosa Plan 2020, with the site
                  now zoned District Centre.
     C.    Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
